Hope Wears White — Florence Stuart

What could cure a jilted heart?

Nurse Barbara Ritter looked up into Dr. Wade Fulton's eyes.

“Say you love me, darling. Say it once, please,” he pleaded.

She turned her head away. “Oh, let me alone. Don't talk any more about it. What does it matter how I feel about you? You're going to be married to another girl.”

She had lost her heart to a man who belonged to somebody else. Would time heal the hurt? Barbara found the answer to her question in this moving novel of love, friendship and dedication to a noble profession.

HEART-SCARRED

Hope Sanitarium in Springdale, Arkansas had a psychiatric annex in charge of young Dr. Wade Fulton. Assigned to be his office nurse was Barbara Ritter, a home town girl who had suffered all during her childhood and adolescence by being in the shadow of a more attractive and beloved foster sister, and who had finally left Springdale in humiliation at being jilted by a man who had become engaged to her sister instead.

Now that time had healed the wound, Barbara felt strong enough to return. But she found a new problem: her sister, still not married, had grown into a violently neurotic woman, desperately in need of treatment, and convinced that she was madly in love with Dr. Fulton. And Dr. Fulton was uncertain, under the circumstances that he wanted Barbara's services.
